Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son…”

Sarah: Just finished this book, it was amazing

Tasha J: 😲 Mexican Gothic is on sale… I think this is one you either love or you don’t. I didn’t love, but it was definitely different and memorable. I will definitely be watching the show. I got past that halfway mark, when things really start picking up, I was disgusted. Truly grossed out. I couldn’t even snack while I read. 🙁 I can totally envision how they’re gonna put this on screen though, and I bet it’ll be awesome.

Nancy: I could not help myself & 1-clicked Mexican Gothic!

bev: I’m a scaredy cat so some parts probably got a little more tense or creepy for me …Overall I think it kept its tone and was a good story. I saw someone give it a B and I’d go with that. Really liked the heroine all the way through. Which when we are only in her thoughts I appreciate.
